Jeez, now I am really walking in treacle ! That article is very interesting and, as you say, on the face of it looks like great news. I've read it twice and it seems to indicate that I won't have to pay tax at all on my shares (they produce up to around £1500 per year so less than the £5000 ceiling mentioned ). But the article only talks about dividends not interest - are they really generous enough to give us separate tax free allowances for dividends and interest ? That seems unlikely but would certainly be excellent news.

I can't even keep on top of my bank statements and even though I log all transactions my bank always recon my balance is a bit higher than my records show. And for years, when I was running the office petty cash account, I had enough extra money left over to fund cream cakes for 6 staff every perishing week ! My brain does not cope well with cash business.

It is interesting, and significant changes

The tax rates on dividends received over £5,000 are now:

7.5% on dividend income within the basic rate band :T:T:T (£11,001 to £43,000 income tax 20%)
32.5% on dividend income within the higher rate band (£43,001 to £150,000 income tax 40%)
38.1% on dividend income within the additional rate band (Additional rate over £150,000 income tax 45%)
These tax rates are payable on the dividends you receive above the £5,000 dividend allowance.

Morning all,
Read last night, but can't find it this morning, in daily mail 90p spend £5 voucher to spend in Hof no minimum spend.
Not 100% sure if this is one of the papers you can free if doing waitrose shop?
Or if there is anything for £5 to buy in Hof :rotfl:

And I bet you'd calculate to the penny how much extra you could buy once the Brand Guarantee kicked in:o;)

Nah. I didn't even check which were sold in A before going through the till .:eek:

I just picked a selection with enough cashback items as fillers so that if the 6 for £4 did kick in on any of them i wouldn't have had much to pay

I even asked the sa if she wanted to put them all through separately but she couldn't be bothered with that. Let's hope the staff are still as willing and the tills aren't updated when Ts 3 for 2 starts next week

I saw this yesterday, but assumed that it was the Friday paper.

It is one that you can get free at Waities x

I was looking at scissors and razor with interest... I may join you with the idea the strimmer! lol

But on a serious note I have about 5 pairs of tweezers... and the boys have nicked them all.... something wrong there!
